Free Resources for Your Classroom & Early Bird Training Discount

Hi there,

School teachers and out-of-school instructors are special people that go above and beyond to deliver entrepreneurial lessons that will help students succeed in life. Finding quality products can be time-consuming, challenging, and expensive.

YIPPEE, a digital platform built by the Burton D. Morgan Foundation and the Young Entrepreneur Institute, was created to connect educators to a host of free entrepreneurship education resources and to one another. As part of the YIPPEE community, educators are encouraged to explore a wide range of vetted products and share their experiences to ensure the best products make their way to students.

Through generous funding and innovative technology, YIPPEE removes common barriers to resources and enables educators to access tools that provide students with transformative learning experiences.

ELI is a proud product provider on this platform.

How a Minnesota Teen Brought Her Entrepreneurial Spirit to Life

By the time Saint Paul College Business Instructor Linda Michel met Saint Paul Public Schools student Sandy Lee, the teen had already started two businesses—before age 17.

Lee was enrolled in the Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program, which lets high schoolers earn college credits for free. She gravitated toward the entrepreneurial mindset in the Ice House model Michel uses within her course.

Lee said that just as Uncle Cleve had responded to a need for ice during hot Mississippi summers in the book “Who Owns the Ice House: Eight Life Lessons from an Unlikely Entrepreneur,” she was giving her community products that filled a need—for affirming, empowering beauty products in her first business (selling lashes and clothing) and hard-to-find sweets in her second (selling mochi donuts).

"Who Owns the Ice House?" Is Available in Multiple Formats!

Learn the eight life lessons of Uncle Cleve, Clifton Taulbert, and Gary Schoeniger in the format that is best for you! "Much more than a book on entrepreneurship. It is a book about how the mindset and actions of the good & reliable stands out from the average. It is a series of stories that reflect the good old values of how one carries oneself in life...This one's a classic."
